57.13

Three classes (三輩): [The second character is] bei plus wei fan. Gu Yewang says: 'Bei is like a division (bu).' Song Zhong's commentary on the Taixuan jing says: 'Bei means kind or class.' The Shuowen states: 'Takes "carriage" (車), with fei (非) for sound.' The scripture taking bei (北) to write bei (輩) is correct for the popular form.
